i'm standing outside the olympic stadium and they're practicing for the opening ceremonies but this casualty is what's grabbing the headlines right now. sierra? >> what a way to get booted out of the olympics. so how is greece responding? anything? >> yeah. you know, i spoke a short while ago to the olympic spokesperson who said look. she is young. she made a joke. she made a mistake. but it was really serious and he said it was unforgivable and contrary to everything the olympics stand for. the greek political party weighed in and said what kind of role model is this for young children and athletes? this cannot be tolerated. she has to be removed from the team. i think this points very early and very quickly to a wider question of social media and how athletes should be using it. some countries have given their teams really strict guidelines saying you can't say this or that or just don't say anything. you'll get yourself in trouble. some are just very lavishly tweeting because there is a way to connect with fans.

it's about striking that balance and not getting into deep trouble like she did. >> keep us posted. thanks so much. now to a deadly police shooting of an unarmed man that has unleashed this. all this chaos on the streets of anaheim, california. hundreds of protesters swarmed downtown. the back lash against cops is escalating now. the protests began over the shooting death of 25-year-old manwell diaz who police say was a known gang member. but according to local reports, diaz was unarmed. and the outrage was immediate. >> we don't use our voices and we don't let these people hear our voice, nothing will be changed. >> not trying to justify what happened. i'm just trying to find justice. >> people are supposed to be protecting us, the cops are the ones doing this. >> let's go straight to our

casey wian with the latest from los angeles. are police saying, you know, why diaz was shot and how exactly this went down? >> reporter: they are releasing some details, kyra. here is the account we have that is a combination of reports from the anaheim police department officially and also the anaheim police association, which is the police officers union, who not surprisingly is saying that they are standing behind this officer right now. on saturday, police officers saw a known gang member according to the police officers association leaning into a parked car in an area known for gang activity and drug sales. they went to confront or to contact they say this apparent known gang member, 25-year-old manuel diaz, and they saw that he had something in his front waist band of his pants. they say that they went to contact him and that he fled.

a pursuit ensued. a very short pursuit according to the police officers association. diaz then reached toward his waist band to pull that object which they have not said what they believe it was out of his waist band. an officer thought it was a gun or might be a gun and opened fire. that is the official account from the police officers association. very unusual while an investigation is still under way in its very early days for a police union to come out and give a detailed statement like this. now, of course, there is another side to this story. the dead man's mother is planning according to her attorney to sue the anaheim police department. she says that her son was simply talking to friends when he was confronted by police and they shot him in the back and then as he fell down shot him again in the head. obviously this is under investigation but the community very upset about what happened.

the fatal shooting of an unarmed man, kyra. >> early this morning what is the scene like there? the protests taking place right now? >> reporter: the calm has been restored. there were protests of course last night. that video you showed earlier. there was a city council meeting. the chambers were a full. police decided to try to restrict others from going in. several hundred people were not allowed into that meeting. things got tense. got out of hand. and that happened for several hours last night. several people were arrested. others were injured. police say they do have the situation under control this morning. but they are preparing for more potential protests tonight. of course anaheim is a very big tourist destination for a lot of folks. it's the home of disney land and other attractions. police say it remains a safe community. and they are committed to keep residents and tourists in the community safe as the protests could continue. >> all right. casey wian we'll follow it. thanks so much. a lawyer representing diaz's

family said diaz had not committed a crime when he was shot. the attorney says the family plans to file a multimillion dollar lawsuit over diaz's death. let's head to colorado now where a memorial service is taking place today for a father who had taken his teenagers to the midnight premiere of the dark knight rises in aurora. gordon cowan is one of 12 people that were killed. dozens were shot in a rampage that was blamed on a once promising neuro science student who is due back in court next monday. minus the news cameras by the way. jim, you've been watching that community struggle with everything that's happened since friday and noticed a pretty dramatic reaction where guns are concerned as well. >> reporter: yeah. a 40% increase in background checks that are required to buy a fire arm here. in fact, 1200 background checks performed just in the friday of the attack and then the saturday after it. there could be even more guns bought because you can buy more than one gun with a single background check. we've seen this happen before,

kyra. people just feel like they want to have more protection. they want to get a fire arm. we also know firearms safety classes here, that many of the gun stores offer, have been booked solid now and it'll take you weeks before you can get into one of those classes. so many things have been going on here in this community as they've reacted. that's just another slice of how this community here is trying to reassess things after this attack. >> tell us about this one woman who was shot in the head. she is being called the miracle survivor. it's pretty incredible when you hear all the details of her story. >> reporter: yeah. petra anderson 22 years old was in the movie when she was shot with a shotgun. three of the pellets went into her arm. a fourth pellet from the shotgun actually went into her nose and because of an abnormality in her brain there is a channel that's filled with fluid all the way through her brain so this pellet was able to go into her nose and all the way through this channel to the back of her skull and not hit her brain at all.

sometimes people call this a birth deflect. i think now she is glad she has it. remarkable to think what the odds must be that a single pellet from many would hit and find that route straight through this thing. sparing her any serious injury that she certainly would have had if she didn't have this channel there. >> remarkable. james holmes, meanwhile, the suspect. back in court on monday? >> reporter: back in court on monday. we won't be able to see him like we did last monday. the defense made a request of the judge to bar cameras in the courtroom and the judge honored that just noting in the motion that it was a possibility that it could make it more difficult for him to get a fair trial. we're also going to get a lot less information because during that same hearing the judge granted a gag order. so now from now on the police, any of those agencies involved are not able to speak publicly on the record about this case. again, out of making sure that they can get a fair trial here not only for the defendant but also all that the -- that there

is not any contradictory information that comes out. anything that's not authorized to come out that is better saved for court. we'll get a lot less info. reporters will be allowed in the courtroom. i'll be there monday to check it out. we just won't get to see him. it was so jarring to see him in person on monday that i think that, clearly, the defense took that into account when they asked for that. >> jim, thanks so much. aurora got a surprise yesterday as well from the dark knight himself. actor christian bale with no advance notice and little fanfare met with the survivors and visited a memorial for the victims. >> of all the times i've been live in iraq what went through your mind? >> what do you do about this district attorney? >> this is the geographic south pole. male spirit present.trong it's the priceline negotiator.

it's also a city that has major commercial hub and key to president assad's control of northern syria. another setback for assad, two more syrian diplomats have defected. the rebels appear to be getting their hands on much better weapons, too, such as rocket propelled grenades and assault rifles. cnn's ivan watson actually crossed into northern syria and spoke with the rebels who vowed to fight to the death to overthrow assad. >> translator: a father stained with the blood of his son. this is the blood of a martyr, he yells. of a hero, his blood is pure. mad grief and pride from a man who just learned his son died in battle. he was only 22 years old, a defector from the syrian military. he died tuesday morning fighting for the rebel free syrian army. he is the fourth man from this

family. and new recruits keep coming every day. you want to fight. >> yeah. >> reporter: against the government. >> yeah. >> reporter: that's why you came back to syria. >> yeah, of course. because he's killed everyone. he's killed my cousin. he's destroyed my village. he's destroyed my home. >> reporter: this 23-year-old man came home from a job in dubai to start his own brigade of rebels. he brought a bag full of radios, cameras, and sniper scopes he bought with his own money. >> all of this is for war. you're going to fight with this. >> reporter: ayyeah, i know but go to war for my family for my country. >> reporter: brave talk from a young man who has yet to set foot on the battle field. this rebel veteran chokes back tears while talking about his friend killed in aleppo just a few hours ago. >> we must fight bashar assad. >> reporter: after burying his friend it's back to the battle.

he lost his right eye, has some brain damage, and is in critical condition. his friend broke down speaking with cbs. >> we talked about him because we know he can hear us. we tell him that he needs to get better because he needs to be a d dad. >> reporter: doctors here at the hospital have caleb in a medically induced coma. his brother said caleb seems to understand what happened. what's unclear is whether or not he is aware he has a new baby boy. the miracle of friendship may have saved the life of ali young who was inside theater 9 with her best friend stephanie davies. >> there is smoke, explosions, blood, death, guns being fired. >> i just remember opening my eyes. i'm on the ground. blood everywhere. >> reporter: ali was struck in the neck. refusing to let her friend die stephanie did something so selfless. she stayed with her friend and applied pressure on the hole in

her neck. even president obama shared their story after visiting them at the hospital here in aurora. >> allie told stephanie she needed to run. stephanie refused to go. and with her other hand called 911 on her cell phone. >> after the shooting finally stopped stephanie carried her friend across two parking lots to an ambulance. >> she saved my life which i, you know, that's always going to be a little emotional for me. >> reporter: it is no small miracle that petra anderson is alive. the 22-year-old was hit four times when the suspected shooter opened fire in the movie theater. three shotgun bullets hit her arm. another sailed through her nose, up the back of her cranium, hitting her skull. her pastor brad straight wrote on his blog, quote, her injuries were severe and her condition was critical. the doctors prior to surgery were concerned because so much of the brain had been traversed by the bullet.

doctors haven't shared exactly what happened but the young woman was probably saved by something she didn't even know she had. a small channel of fluid running through her skull that can only be picked wup a ct scan. that channel of fluid likely maneuvered the bullet in the least harmful direction. in a stroke of luck her pastor blogs the shotgun buckshot enters her brain from the exact point of the channel. like a marble through a small tube it channels the bullet from her nose through her brain. it turned slightly several times. in the process the bullet misses all the vital areas of the brain. according to her pastor, if the bullet had entered just a mill me meter in any direction the brain likely would have been destroyed. petra has already started to speak and walk and is expected to make a full recovery. randi kaye, cnn, aurora, colorado. ic low back pain.

she knows all too well what it's like to live with aids. she has been battling it for nearly half her life and lost her husband and daughter to the disease. but it's what she has gained rather than what she's lost that gives her life a new purpose. dr. sanjay gupta shares her story in this week's human factor. >> reporter: this is the aids quilt panel patricia knowles helped make in honor of her husband lenny and 3-year-old daughter tiffany. for the 55-year-old mother of two it was bitter sweet. her husband was an iv drug user who had been clean for years. he died of aids in 1987. six months later their daughter tiffany seccumbed to the disease. knowles knew she had aids shortly after her husband was diagnosed. she was just 29 years old. >> i was very sick when i was

diagnosed. i was 80 pounds. i had no t-cells. i was told i had less than two years. >> reporter: she was devastated. >> the first thing i thought about were my children. i bought my plot. i bought everything -- put everything in place for death. >> reporter: nalls thought she was the only woman with hiv. she found very little support for women seeking help. when her doctor assured her she wasn't alone she put up a flyer in her office hoping to connect with others who were infected. >> i just started a support group in my home and in the support group you know we came together. we cried. we prepared for death. >> reporter: but nalls didn't die. because the first aids drug azt became available. and once on the drug, she started getting better. that connection grew to what is now the women's collective. it's an aids service organization that serves more than 300 hiv positive women in the washington metropolitan area. pat is the founder and executive director. >> i feel good about what i've

created to help women who -- with things that i didn't have in place when i needed it. >> reporter: and now 25 years later this new aids panel honors her husband and her child. pat says making it was cathar c cathartic. >> it's great to have them added to the history of this epidemic. >> reporter: her other two children are now 29 and 32. they are both hiv negative. and pat recently passed one more milestone she didn't think she'd make. she became a grandmother. dr. sanjay gupta, cnn, reporting. well a man police call a serial infector is locked up this morning accused of infecting patients with hepatitis c. and the states where he worked, new hampshire, michigan, maryland, new york, arizona, georgia, and kansas are now investigating and having thousands of patients tested. federal prosecutors say the 32-year-old male infected at least 30 people when he worked

as a medical tech at exeter hospital in new hampshire. >> he knew he had hepatitis c as of at least june of 2010. he continued to divert drugs and permit tainted syringes to be used on patients under his care. >> senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen is here to talk to us more about this suspect. okay. so prior to working in new hampshire, he was -- apparently he worked at john hopkins in baltimore also. is that right? >> yes. >> i was having a hard time keeping track of all the various states. where do you even begin? >> you really nailed the problem here. between january, 2007 and just recently, this guy was working in eight states. we know of seven of them. you read them earlier. in many of these states we're talking multiple hospitals. this is a guy who traveled from state to state working in different places. this investigation gets very, very complicated. >> all right. you uncovered this lawsuit against the agency actually

placed the -- found the suspect, right? >> right. there is an agency that placed him in hospitals. that is a common thing in medical care is that an agency will place nurses or technicians or whatever. so some of the people who say they've been infected by him have sued. i want to read you some of the lawsuits. >> okay. >> actually pretty horrifying details in there. according to the lawsuit, you know, we haven't confirmed this, it says a hospital employee observed mr. kwiatkowski enter an operating room, lift his shirt, put a syringe in his pants, and exit the room. they then searched him. what they found was three empty syringes bearing fentanyl, a very powerful narcotic, found on his person. an empty morphine sulphate syringe and needle were later found in his locker. they then asked him to take a drug test and he did and it said the drug test found fentanyl and other opiates in his system. i think it's important to note this was in 2008. so if this is true, that is very

disturbing that they knew this in 2008 and yet he went on to work in other hospitals for years. >> do we know anything about this guy besides the fact that he's obviously crazy? and appears from all of this to be a drug addict. >> and how is he able to keep hopping from hospital to hospital? don't you track something like that and think, okay. something is wrong here? why does he keep moving from job to job? >> if it's true that this hospital in 2008 knew that he was testing positive. >> right. >> that he was taking these syringes you would think they would do something to make sure he didn't continue working in hospitals but he did. he continued for another four years to keep working in hospitals. and, you know, i know people are concerned about this kind of thing that when someone is found to have -- a hospital worker is found to be a drug user sometimes they just kind of want to get him out of there and don't do all the steps they should do to make sure he doesn't work anywhere. >> and hepatitis c is a serious liver disease. >> it can be treated not cured. if it goes undetected then it

can really do serious damage to the liver, cause cirrhosis, really serious liver problems. >> all right. we'll definitely follow this. appreciate it so much. also according to the cdc about 3.2 million people in the u.s. are living with chronic hepatitis c infections but most people don't know they're infected because they don't look or feel sick.

i want to take you now to the dominican republic where the life of a sick 16-year-old girl hangs in the balance because saving her will mean breaking the law. here's rafael romo with the story. >> reporter: at this hospital in santo domingo a teenage girl awaits a life or death decision. the 16-year-old girl is dying of acute leukemia and needs chemotherapy. but she is 9 weeks' pregnant and doctors fear the treatment would terminate the pregnancy, a violation of dominican antiabortion laws. >> translator: my daughter's life is first. i know abortion is a sin and

that it goes against the law because i'm a teacher but my daughter's health is first. >> reporter: under dominican law life begins at conception and abortion is strictly prohibited. a bioethics council that rules on the application of the law is leaning toward allowing the treatment because the girl's life is in danger. >> translator: at the end of the day the patient may decide for himself or herself. in this case the family may decide what is more convenient for the patient. >> reporter: women's rights groups are outraged. they say the girl should have received chemotherapy the moment doctors decided it was necessary to save her life. >> translator: how can it be possible that so much time is being wasted that the treatment hasn't begun yet because they're still meeting trying to decide if she has a right to receive treatment to save her life? that's unacceptable. >> some dominican opposition lawmakers say there should be a new debate over the ban of abortion in the country. the republic outlawed all

abortions in 2010. article 37 of the constitution approved that year doesn't leave any room for interpretation or exceptions. >> translator: the constitution is going to have to be modified sooner rather than later because articles like that are an aberration. we cannot allow under any circumstances that pregnancies that present complications for women be permitted to continue as normal. >> the dominican minister of health said he favors chemotherapy over protecting the pregnancy but doctors are reluctant to act for fear of prosecution. >> translator: we back the decision by the health ministry which ordered the procedure. there is a possibility that the child may be affected but that doesn't justify an abortion. >> while the debate rages on, back at the hospital the clock keeps ticking. rafael romo, cnn, atlanta. usaa auto insurance is often handed down from generation to generation. because it offers a superior level of protection,

iphone sales are down leading to a disappointing quarter for apple. it's not that folks don't like the phone anymore. apple says they're holding out for a new improved version. rumored to be coming out soon. the tech giant says it sold 26 million i-phones instead of the expected 29 million and also sold a record 17 million ipads.

while quarterly sales for the company rose $35 billion that was a couple billion short of expectations believe it or not. even though net income rose to $8.8 billion, analysts were expecting even more. we know that facebook is pretty darned popular. more than 900 million users now. and because of all of us facebook is worth a lot of money. so how much are we worth to facebook? >> if you're one of facebook's 900 million users and chances are you might be you're worth $1.21 to the company. that is how much facebook made per user last quarter. let's look at how the company is actually making money. see that digital cow on the farmville game? facebook makes $1.20 every time you buy one. and that bullet proof vest on mafia wars and your survival knife facebook gets a slice of those sales, too. $1.20 for your virtual protection. all of them are sold by zynga but facebook gets a 30% cut of each sale. they're part of facebook's

payments business which accounts for 18% of the company's revenue. the nickels and dimes add up. facebook collected $186 million last quarter. but the main way facebook makes money is from the ads you see on the site. >> we spend several million dollars every month on facebook ads. >> design website fab.com says it had nearly 200,000 users before they even launched and 2/3 came from facebook. >> on any given day 25% of the ads are coming from facebook. >> the marketers we talked to tell us they're just not happy with the performance they're getting from facebook. >> reporter: businesses like the company pages where they can advertise their brand for free but the social network made its $872 million in ad revenue last quarter from paid ads like this. >> when you click on those ads that's how facebook makes money. facebook quite frankly doesn't care from a revenue perspective what happens after you get to that branded page. >> reporter: gm has a branded facebook page with 397,000 likes. >> unfortunately it's just about

the only thing many marketers look at. how many likes do we have? we think it is an overly simplistic metric and one that doesn't really tell you whether you're having success. >> but those likes may not translate to profits. two months ago gm pulled all their paid advertising on facebook and that is not the only concern. what really scares facebook? your smart phone. the company launched mobile ads about four months ago and they're still not making a lot of money off them. >> we're starting to see a lot of real money flow into mobile advertising but still a lot of potential to be unlocked there. >> joining me now from new york, why is mobile such a problem for facebook at this point? >> kyra, it's a huge problem. this is what they said when they were going public. they cited mobile as a problem. if you take a look over half the facebook users are accessing facebook through mobile devices. so what that means is they'll have to figure out a way to make money off those users. if you're scrolling through your facebook app chances are you won't see many ads on your phone

and you probably won't click on them if you do. that is going to be a huge problem and it's not just something facebook is facing but something a lot of different companies are looking at as more people are going online on their smart phones and on their tablets. >> laurie, thanks so much. for more detail on facebook log into cnn money.com. i got mine in iraq, 2003. usaa auto insurance is often handed down from generation to generation. because it offers a superior level of protection, and because usaa's commitment to serve the military, veterans and their families is without equal. begin your legacy, get an auto insurance quote. usaa. we know what it means to serve.

well, the first official game of the london olympics kicked off a few moments ago but it is the noon hour i am paying close attention to, because that is when the u.s. women's soccer team looks to defend their back-to-back olympic titles and this is how they told me they are planning to do just that. >> reporter: for the players of the the women's top-ranked soccer team in the world, they want nothing less than gold. >> everybody wants to cheer for a champion. >> abby womambach is the leadin scorer in american soccer history.

>> we want to do whatever we can to bring back gold. >> reporter: the u.s. women's team captured gold in 2004 and 2008 and the current squad of 18 women includes many veterans, but also some fast-rising stars. one of the brightest is 23-year-old forward alex morgan. her speed and skill have led to some stunning goals. >> i have watched the olympics since i was a little girl, so it is amazing that i'm actually able to represent my country. >> reporter: another force on the team hope solo who fought her way back from a serious shoulder injury, and she has regained her standing as one of the world's best goalies. the team's coach, swedish-born, says that the group does not require much motivation. >> because of the experience and they have been so successful, it is contagious, so if you have good players out there, and the young players coming in, they make sure that the quality is high every time.

u.s. women face in london, these players promise their competitive fire. >> there is never a time when i am worried about another team. in order to be the best, you have to beat the best. >> we have been together this year, and training together, and we are all really excited to get the games started. >> and good luck, gals. we will be watching. if you are leaving the house right now, you can continue to watch cnn from the mobile phone and watch it live from the desktop by going to cnn.com/tv. i don't spend money on gasoline. it's been 4,000 miles since my last trip to the gas station. it's pretty great. i get a bunch of kids waving at me... giving me the thumbs up. it's always a gratifying experience. it makes me feel good about my car. i absolutely love my chevy volt. ♪ [romney singing]: oh beautiful, for spacious skies, i'm barack obama and i i absapprove this message. volt. for amber waves of grain,
